Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sun visor for vehicles with a pivot bearing arranged at one end region of its upper longitudinal edge and consisting of a housing and sun visor axis, and a recess at the other end region of the same longitudinal edge with a recess of the same transverse counter bearing axis, which is detachably connected to a counter bearing housing, the sun visor consisting of two half shells are firmly connected and covered with cover material.
  • a sun visor of the generic type is described in EP-A-0 076 174.
  • this known sun visor which consists of two hollow, interconnected half-shells, it is provided that one of the half-shells is made of injection-molded plastic and the other half-shell is made of plastic foam.
  • the half-shell which is made of injection-molded plastic, is formed in one piece and of the same material with a counter bearing axis.
  • the two interconnected half-shells are covered on the circumference with a covering material.
  • the cladding is done in the way that the sun visor is covered on both sides with a film or the like and the two films are then welded together along the edge of the sun visor, the contour of which follows.
  • a second possibility with regard to the counter bearing axis is not to include it in the film-like envelope but to leave it unclad.
  • the implementation of this possibility poses the problem of a color adaptation of the counter bearing axis to the respective color of the wrapping material.
  • the buyers apparently for reasons that do not correspond to the aesthetic requirements, reject those sun visors in which there is an eye-catching color difference between the reference material and the counter-bearing axis, as well as those sun visors whose color design is not rejected corresponds to the respective color design of the vehicle interior.
  • sun visors for one and the same vehicle type are manufactured in up to ten different colors, it is obvious that this possibility cannot be realized for practical reasons; because in addition to the considerable costs for the different coloring of the plastic material, problems with regard to warehousing are also likely to arise, because in addition to the different colors of the sun visors, the fact that sun visors without mirrors, with mirrors from the buyers make it more difficult as well as with mirrors and mirror lighting in the appropriate color. If you also consider that the sun visors are generally made in left and right-hand versions, it becomes clear what storage capacity would have to be provided for the half-shells of the sun visor in order to realize the possibility shown above.
  • the invention is based on the object of designing a sun visor of the type mentioned in such a way that the counter bearing axis can be adapted in a particularly simple and cost-effective manner to the respective color of the sun visor cover material without the need for an easily damageable covering with covering material, and the sun visor overall in simplify and reduce the cost of manufacture.
  • any colored or non-colored material can be used for the production of the half-shells, provided that it meets the technical requirements, for example in terms of breaking strength, heat resistance and the like, because the half-shells, after they have been connected to one another and covered with covering material, face the eye are completely withdrawn from a viewer.
  • a particularly simple way to preclude rotation of the counter bearing axis is obtained if it is provided in an embodiment of the invention that at least one end region of the counter bearing axis is out of round, e.g. is designed as a square and that the bearing openings of the half-shells intended for receiving the non-circular end regions of the counter bearing axis have a correspondingly non-circular design.
  • each half shell In order to axially fix the counter bearing axis, it can be provided in a further development of the invention that the opposite bearing openings of each half shell each have a wall that limits their axial extent, the distance from wall to wall corresponding to the length of the counter bearing axis.
  • the counter bearing axis is equipped with at least one electrical contact element which projects radially beyond the counter bearing axis in the approximately central region and that at least one electrical conductor is embedded in the counter bearing axis, one end of which on the contact element and the other, emerging from a counter bearing axis end, is connected to an electrical light source arranged on the sun visor.
  • the invention can thus also be advantageously implemented with a sun visor equipped with an electrical light source.
  • the half-shells and the counter bearing axis are designed as plastic injection molded parts.
  • manufacture of the sun visor simplifying and cheaper measure can consist in further development of the invention that the half-shells on the facing sides with an additional bearing opening for receiving a spring, which is U-shaped and clamped with the facing sides of their legs comes to rest on the sun visor axis, are trained.
  • the arrangement of the spring by means of which the sun visor is held in selectable folding positions, can thus also be carried out by simple plug-in assembly, as can that of the counter bearing axis.
  • the spring is formed in one piece with a contact arm coming into contact with the sun visor axis and with a plug contact received by a cable lug, the cable lug being connected to the first end of an electrical conductor, the second end of which is connected to an electric light source arranged on the sun visor.
  • Fig. 1a shows a first lower half-shell 1, which in connection with the first upper half-shell 2 according to Fig. 1b or in connection with the second upper half-shell 3 according to Fig. 1c results in a vehicle sun visor, but to complete the sun visor still in the Fig. 1d to 1h details and include a lining, not shown, with reference material.
  • the lower half-shell 1 is to be understood as the one that faces away from the headliner when the sun visor installed in a vehicle is not in use.
  • the half-shell 1 has a circumferential collar 4 and reinforcing ribs 5 adjacent to it.
  • the half-shell 1 has an upper longitudinal edge 6, a lower longitudinal edge 7 and end edges 8 and 9.
  • the half-shell 1 has a bearing housing 10, on the drawing left side, in which one leg of an L-shaped sun visor axis 11 is mounted is the other leg sits in a bracket 12 to be attached to a vehicle body.
  • the bearing housing 10 also includes housing parts 13 and 14, which are completed by corresponding housing parts on the counter-half-shells 2 and 3.
  • a so-called counter bearing which consists of a counter bearing housing 15 (FIG.
  • a counter bearing axis 16 (FIG. 1f) which can be releasably latched into its bearing seat.
  • the arrangement of the counter bearing axis is such that it is aligned with the leg of the sun visor axis 11 located in the bearing housing 10 (13, 14) and forms a common axis of rotation with the latter.
  • the counter-bearing axis 16 crosses a recess 17 of the half-shell 1 that is recessed relative to the upper longitudinal edge 6, the recess 17 being a floor wall that runs parallel to the longitudinal edge 6 manure 18 and two approximately perpendicular to this side walls 19.
  • the side walls each have an interruption, each of which is followed by a bearing opening 20 for the end regions of the counter bearing axis 16.
  • the bearing openings 20 are adapted to the end regions of the counter bearing axis 16 which are designed as a square 21, so that there is a non-rotatable mounting for the counter bearing axis.
  • the receptacles or bearing openings 20 are designed so that an axial displacement of the counter bearing axis is not possible.
  • the bearing openings are only complete when the half-shells 1 and 2 or 1 and 3 are connected to one another.
  • the housing part 13 is designed such that it forms a receptacle for the spring 22 shown in FIG. 1h.
  • the spring is approximately U-shaped and has two legs 23 which clamp the sun visor axis 11 in the installed position. Otherwise, the spring 22 is a component belonging to the prior art and need not be described in detail.
  • the half-shell 2 corresponds to that of FIG. 1a almost mirror image. The only difference is that, instead of the bearing housing 10, the half-shell 2 has a cutout 24 in which the bearing housing 10 engages appropriately.
  • the procedure is such that a spring 22 is inserted into the receptacles or bearing openings 20 of the half-shell 1 (or 2) and has the respective desired color, and the spring 22 is inserted into the receptacle formed by the housing part 13, and then the half-shell 2 placed on the half-shell 1 and the half-shells are connected to one another, for example by ultrasonic welding.
  • the collars 4 and reinforcing ribs 5 provided on both half-shells lie flat against one another, so that butt weld seams are formed during the ultrasonic welding. It is of course also possible to glue the half-shells 1 and 2 together or to fix them to one another by means of clip elements to be molded.
  • the sun visor stand parts described are designed as plastic injection molded parts.
  • the cover material to be provided for the cover of the sun visor can e.g. consist of a plastic film.
  • the half-shell according to FIG. 1c differs from that according to FIG. 1b in that it can be equipped with a mirror, for which purpose it has a trough 25 inserted into an opening, which is provided with clip receptacles 26.
  • 1g shows a mirror 27 which is held by a frame 28.
  • the frame 28 is provided on its back with clip elements, not shown, which can be inserted into the clip receptacles 26 of the tub 25.
  • the half-shells 2 and 3 are recognizably usable optionally.
  • the basic structure of the lower half-shell shown in FIG. 2a corresponds to that of FIG. 1a, so that it is provided with the same reference numbers.
  • the half-shell 1 according to FIG. 2a only has additional molded-on clip elements 29 which serve to hold the trough 25 shown in FIG. 2e.
  • the counter bearing axis 16 is provided with an electrical contact element 30 which protrudes radially in its central region and which makes contact with a counter contact (not shown) which can be arranged in the counter bearing housing 15.
  • a counter contact (not shown) which can be arranged in the counter bearing housing 15.
  • an electrical conductor 31 one end of which is connected in a manner not shown to the contact element and the other, emerging from a counter bearing axis end, to a light source arranged in the sun visor, shown in FIG. 2e.
  • the spring 22 shown in FIG. 2d differs from that according to FIG. 1h in that it additionally has a contact arm 32 which comes into contact with the sun visor axis 11 and also one of a cable lug 33 received plug contact 34 is integrally formed.
  • the cable lug 33 is connected to the first end of an electrical conductor 35, the other end of which is connected to the electrical light source.
  • the half-shell 2 according to FIG. 2b corresponds to that according to FIG. 1b and reveals an opening 36 for the trough 25 according to FIG. 2e in the central region of its main surface.
  • the tub 25 shows busbars 37 and 38, between which tubular lamps 39 are arranged as light sources.
